Before Kvothe, another young student made his mark at the University; Elodin was not always Master Namer and before he learned the name of the wind, there was another name he sought to discover...

Another "Name of the Wind" essay featuring the characters of Patrick Rothfuss! The working title for this one was "My Essay on How Kvothe Was More Right Than We Know When He Says He's 'Never Been on the Best of Terms With God' and It's Fascinating". This essay was brought to you by my 2019 English class, so please excuse the essay format. It contains spoilers for The Kingkiller Chronicles!

Here's an essay I wrote for an English class in 2019. We got to read one of my favorite books of all time, "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, so it was super fun to do school analysis about a thing I enjoyed. In this essay, I discuss why Kvothe is a really great arcanist! Please excuse the essay format. Oh, also, this has spoilers for the Kingkiller Chronicles.

In a dystopian world, hundreds of years ago, the leaders of Advivere went underground to protect themselves from the enemy in the neighboring lands. Even after the danger passed the clan stayed underground. Because it was safe. There was no risk of being attacked or accidentally invading someone else's territory, for the clan's small population it was a gift. But when resources and capacity decreased in the bunker, the leaders started sending people outside. Every year a team of trained teenagers exits the bunker to survive outside. If successful then their family's and chosen few join them in their new home. If not, well, that means they're dead. Celeste is training to be one of the chosen 20 to go up to the world and fight for her clan. However, the world above is not as beautiful as she thinks.

A combination of stories set in a gritty fantasy world of dark spirits and blood magic with a fairly classic fantasy style, all set on the Island of Theoí. If you've read 'The name of the Wind' you might see a fair bit of inspiration in style but hopefully a very different story, setting and characters. --- "No!" Jamison almost coughed on his own words as he woke up suddenly by the cold rock with bloody smears staining its surface. Panicking he fought for breath and found only harsh brittle air rather than the warm smooth campfire heat; a warmer body had slumped next to him and he turned to find Corke staring at him with a worried expression. Upon seeing his face she relaxed and looked out along the wall, glancing her eyes from the singed ashes of the Pemberfrost weeds to the long slashing shadow of the great monolith.--- Sanctum is set in the brutal aftermath of Sanctums fall; a prison off from the main land mass in which a group chosen by the Meredith Crown are sent to bring down the final Monolith that still stands. Upon arriving the group finds an abandoned and necrotic aura seeping over the mist that engulfs Sanctum, there is no life in the halls of stone.

A mysterious lute player is looking for something in the library. What is it?

Devan Lochees, better known as the Chronicler, might be seen as nothing but the author of Kvothe the Bloodless's biography. But whoever thinks of him this way, has certainly never gotten to know him. Follow his journey from his early years at the University to the moment he met Kote and Bast at the Waystone Inn. Is he really nothing more than a prolific scribe? Is the Name of Iron truly the only name he knows? Author's Note: I am putting some effort into this story to try and make something that can actually be regarded as a complement to the trilogy. I'll try my best to not fall short of Patrick's prose and narrative by that much, but in the end it's inevitable. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and that it might sate some of those Doors of Stone cravings.

(U/C or major editing, which ever way you like to put it. The chapters are still up, so read it for all that you want.) A book listing books you have to read if you haven't because they are SO GOOD (I'm in tears QAQ) and it would be a shame if you don't.
